Top Non-Fiction Genres

As our ethnic communities become more elderly, non-fiction requirements are changing. At one-time, Religious and Political books were the most popular. Now we see high demand for Health and Fitness (diabetes, exercise, blood pressure etc) and Food and Drink (healthy cooking, celebrity chefs etc). As always, there is an extremely high demand for Biographies, although nowadays relating to Showbiz and Sports Celebrities in the USA, UK and readers' Home-Countries.
